Background

About Michael Harshbarger

I’m a program leader who believes in strategy with sleeves rolled up. With over two decades of experience leading cross-functional teams, multi-million-dollar initiatives, and complex technology programs, I bring a steady hand to fast-moving environments. My background spans infrastructure, application modernization, digital transformation, and accessibility—always with a focus on delivering results and empowering people along the way. I’ve managed portfolios of work that spanned vendor relationships, cloud integrations, system overhauls, and large-scale organizational change. I’ve led from the front—building roadmaps, removing blockers, guiding teams through ambiguity, and getting the work done without losing sight of the people doing it. What sets me apart is a leadership style grounded in values: Lead with integrity. Share credit. Own the outcome. Make the world better for others. My next role? I’m looking for a director or program leadership position where I can bring strategy, clarity, and momentum to complex challenges—especially in organizations ready to evolve. Let’s build something that lasts
